I was stopped at a red light, my vehicle was idling slightly rough, not too bad, I didn't think, then it cut off.

I did immediately start it back up, but coming to complete stops, were getting the same result. So, I would not let it idle, I just put the vehicle in neutral at a stopping point to keep it from cutting off again.

I filled the tank on an out of town
visit, and this occurred after driving
from that fill up for approximately
180 miles, no washing, no filter
change. Although the vehicle had an
unusual incident about two weeks
ago that has never occurred. I get
regular oil changes based on the oil
percentage. About two weeks ago,
the engine was clicking and I
checked the oil, and found it was
empty, something that has never
happened since I bought the vehicle
new.

OMG .... empty oil Good grief .. didn't you get a Red light?
Any how ... if there is a large amount of water in the gas you may not see it until the tank is under half full Water floats on top of gas ..refill the gas tank and if it seems better than get some additive that removes water

Thank you Tom, I will try that. And by
the way on the oil situation, no the
oil light did not come on, and of
course I immediately refilled it with
the proper kind of oil per the owners
manual. I am planning on discussing
that matter with Chevrolet.

I purchased the 2012 Equinox on
September 16, 2015. On October 20,
2015 it cut off me 3 x. I drove it into
the dealership. Of course it did not
cut the ff on them. But they found
that there was no oil. Now I have to
do this oil consumption test per gm
and bring my car back to the
dealership after 1,000 miles. I took
the car home on Thursday andabout
3 hours later, it cut off 4x. I took
back to the dealership Friday
morning. I'm so grateful to have a
warranty but it is such an
inconvenience. I really like gm cars
but this just might be my last.

My 2010 equinox is doing same thing .fsiled
one oil consumption test but passed the
next. They sent me home. I fix. Then it's
empty again 2000 miles later. Idling low.
Like it's gonna stall. Code went off p 2035.
Replaced throttle body. No better. I hate this
car

I have the same issue with my vehicle. I have been to
several car shops and they have all completed full
diagnostic test and stated nothing wrong with
vehicle. It stalls when idle at stop lights and shuts off
if I dont give it a little gas before hand. I have a 2010
Chevy Equinox

I am currently having the same issue. Cleaning the
throttle body helped for about 2 weeks. Then it
happened again. Had solenoid valve, cam shaft
replaced and was told by Heritage Chevrolet that
the Mass Flow air sensor is the reason it is stalling.
I am having that replaced as I am typing this in the
lobby. I pray this fixes the issue. If not, Chevrolet will
have to answer some real questions. Please please
put in your formal complaints with Chevrolet and/or
GM so that there could possibly be a recall placed
on our vehicles. If they aren't aware of your issues
there can't be a recall. I hope this info helps us all.

I have a 2013 Chevy Equinox and the idles a little
rough when I'm at a stop sign or reversing feels like
it wants to shut off what do you think I should
change first mass flow sensor or the intake cams
solrnoid any help out there it ain't been doing it for
long just started few weeks ago

The check engine light was coming on it showed up o2 sensors at advanced took it to the shop i am paying on it and they say the replaced the sensor. it came on again the claim it was a accidental vacu...
